The Donald Trump Score Card

Paxton will have this tied up in court for years using Trumph's money. Divert, delay, deny.

 

In December 2020, the U.S. Supreme Court rejected the Texas case that Paxton formulated that tried to throw out electoral votes from MI, PI, WI, and GA.

It was the case that Trump referred to as 'the big one'.

Of ten Republican House members who voted to impeach Trump for his insurrection, three have chosen to not run for reelection in 2022 (Kinzinger, Gonzalez, and Katko).


These Are the Republicans Who Supported Impeaching Trump

 

Sad!

 

Big hopes, zero merit.

 

Idiot

 

So the Oath Keepers were supposedly simply behaving reactively to what the Deep State did to them.

Trump made the same type of remark during the riot, saying that his riot is what happens when an election (in his perception) is viciously stolen from him.

Finchem of AZ (now running for secretary of state with Trump's support) claimed he showed up too late and was never closer to the Capitol than 500 yards, yet photos showed later that he was on the Capitol steps with the rioters near the ones who were breaching the police line.

excerpt:

"1 down, 9 to go!" Trump said in a statement released after Gonzalez's announcement. "2 down, 8 to go!" he said following Kinzinger's decision. "Great news, another one bites the dust," the former President said in reaction to Katko's news.

Putting aside the three retiring members, the remaining seven are also in varying degrees of political peril.

Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney has already been stripped of her leadership role after her outspoken critique of Trump and is fighting for her political life against a Trump-endorsed opponent.

The former President has also endorsed primary challengers to Reps. Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington state, Peter Meijer of Michigan and Fred Upton of Michigan. (Upton remains a retirement possibility as well.)

The message here is simple: Break with Trump and watch your political career end (or face the toughest primary challenge you can imagine). It's not exactly an incentive for elected officials to voice any critique or difference of opinion with the former President.

 

Some of the Oath Keepers who have pleaded guilty to their actions (or as they and Trump might think, to their innocent, defensive reactions to what the Deep State did to them).

Place Trump and his followers in a situation where a mob of burglars smashes the windows and doors of their houses, barges in, injures them, and damages their property, all in the name of a lie that the residents supposedly stole something from the burglars who were simply reacting to being transgressed by the residents and expressing their Constitutional rights and who are outraged that the residents would dare try to defend themselves.

 

Two Delaware men arrested for involvement in Capitol riot with the help of an anonymous tipster.


Man with a Milton-area address charged with Jan. 6 Capitol riot crimes

excerpt:

"A second person has been arrested in Delaware this week on federal charges associated with the insurrectionist riots at the U.S. Capitol last year.

Court records state that Jeffrey Schaefer was arrested Thursday on four charges related to trespassing in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Court documents also state that Schaefer is associated with an address outside of Milton. He is the fifth person with ties to Delaware charged in connection with riots at the U.S. Capitol.

An affidavit signed by a Baltimore-based FBI agent states that anonymous tipsters first pointed to Schaefer as one of those who flooded into the U.S. Capitol that day."

 

Kevin McCarthy says Capitol should have been better protected on Jan. 6 | Daily Mail Online

excerpt:

"He told the Bakersfield Californian they had a 'very heated conversation as the riot was taking place and that he urged the president to 'get help' to the Capitol.

Those comments were central to a letter sent by committee chair Bennie Thompson on Thursday asking for more information.

McCarthy rejected that request on Wednesday evening, saying the panel was not 'conducting a legitimate investigation.'

That set the stage for a combustible atmosphere at the House minority leader's weekly news conference.

Reporters quizzed McCarthy about why he had publicly criticized Trump after the riot - saying he 'bears responsibility' - before changing his tune after a meeting at the former president's Florida home.

McCarthy claimed he did not single out Trump.

'My criticism went to everyone on that day: Why was the capital so ill prepared that day? ... And how do we make sure it will never be ill prepared again.'

He described a meeting with the head of Capitol Police with lawmakers this week and hinted that Pelosi was to blame for hobbling officers' efforts."

 

McCarthy answered his own question.

One reason for the insufficient defense was because Trump had 3,000 of his rioters outnumber the Capitol police.

Even after McCarthy pleaded desperately with Trump to send help to the Capitol during the riot, Trump sat for about three hours and did nothing.

Yet, McCarthy blames Pelosi who wasn't on any committees involving the Capitol police and didn't have the power Trump did at the time of the riot to mount a defense.

As president being in control of the DC national guard, Trump was in the most able position to stop the riot.

 

McCarthy is missing the point, and like trump, is deflecting the blame from himself. It seems to me he has backed himself into a corner. He’ll get re-elected because Kern County(Bakersfield is the county seat) is full of rednecks.

 

That's because the point is on top of his head...

 

Census Memo Cites ‘Unprecedented’ Meddling by Trump Administration

excerpt:

"The memo laid out a string of instances of political interference that senior census officials planned to raise with Wilbur Ross, who was then the secretary of the Commerce Department, which oversees the bureau. The issues involved crucial technical aspects of the count, including the privacy of census respondents, the use of estimates to fill in missing population data, pressure to take shortcuts to produce population totals quickly and political pressure on a crash program that was seeking to identify and count unauthorized immigrants.

Most of those issues directly affected the population estimates used for reapportionment. In particular, the administration was adamant that — for the first time ever — the bureau separately tally the number of undocumented immigrants in each state. Mr. Trump had ordered the tally in a July 2020 presidential memorandum, saying he wanted to subtract them from House reapportionment population estimates.

The census officials’ memorandum pushed back especially forcefully, complaining of “direct engagement” by political appointees with the methods that experts were using to find and count unauthorized noncitizens."
